Told my kids about how the carpet at the cartoon would stick to your feet and lift an inch with each step. They were both revolted and fascinated.

how are they anything to do with Boxpark? Plus, either the individual units or Boxpark as a collective would need an alcohol licence which would have been done through the council so thats horsedung.

my point was twofold;

1) How is the drunken state of people on the East Croydon Platforms anything to do with Boxpark, any more so than Wetherspoons or any other pubs in the local area?

2) To enable the premises to get an alcohol licence, they'd have had to go through fairly stringent checks with the local council licencing team, in that, the requirement for policing would have been checked. If the police haven't been informed (highly unlikely) then that's the councils issue , not Boxpark.

You're right it was Shireffs I was thinking of

I used to think the King's Cellars was highly sophisticated. (Who'd have thought that ancient monarchs would have a cellar in a 70s style office block?)

The King's Cellars was also haunted, according to legend (i.e. the Croydon Advertiser) so maybe it did have a link with the original Crogdene (as it was known in Anglo Saxon times)
